The EU FMD is also mandatory for hospital pharmacies in order to prevent unauthentic medicines from being dispensed to patients. Hospitals also need to authenticate and deactivate medicines before dispensing them to the patients (or re-activate them in certain cases) and use the National Systems for this.Hospital pharmacy does however not deliver directly to the patient, but to the departments or doctors in the hospital. Unlike high street pharmacy the hospital can choose which point the medicine is to be deregistered and the security features checked.

Besides the obligations, the FMD also comes with a number of potential opportunities for hospital pharmacies: reduction in wasted medicines, in expired medicines, in local medicines shortages, but also increased opportunities to engage in patient care, more rapid product recalls, better inventory management and improvement in the pharmacy workflow.
